A photo has been leaked online that reportedly depicts Wintek manufacturing a iPhone 5 touchscreen with an elongated home button.
M.I.C. Gadget writes, "You may ask, how do we know these are Wintek workers? Well, someone replied to the original tweet on Sina Microblog, saying that this pic should be taken in the Wintek's touchscreen plant. We believe that, since Foxconn will not ever leak a pic like this. We are not 100% sure this pic is taken in Wintek, but at least we can tell you that it's not from Foxconn. Anyway, it looks like the next iPhone will be very interesting… Just imagine - gesture home button."
The photo was first posted on Sina Microblog (China's Twitter-style service) and reprinted yesterday by 9to5Mac. An elongated home button, possibly for gestures, has been rumored for some time. Recently, case diagrams posted to MobilePhone.co.uk also showed a home button area with an ovaloid shape.
We're aren't sure if this is an elongated home button or a circular one with a sticker next to it. Take a careful look and let us know what you think in the comments.
